A Place for the Stormcaller to Call Home

"Another!" a voice roared loudly from the bar, although given how many people were about the guildhall today it was certainly not as obvious as usual. Magnus was taking today off from jobs - he'd spent the past 3 weeks running around the entirety of Fiore and had been told to 'ease up' on himself, whatever that meant - and so he did the only thing that he could think of; he'd woken up at the crack of dawn, spent a few hours doing his daily training routine and then started eating and drinking merrily to his heart's content. He was currently awaiting his fourth tankard of ale and had already chomped his way through a number of steaks and chicken drumsticks.

The Chaos mage was deep in conversation with another guild member in between mouthfuls, but came to a stop when he saw the guildhall's doors open and an unfamiliar face walk in. He finished his current mouthful and took another swig of ale before getting to his feet and pushed his way through the people - something made easier by his sheer size and strength. In no time at all he was in front of the newcomer, stupid smile smeared across his face. "HEY! Are you a new challenger for the supreme one?!"

Anyone else would've probably heard Kaido's words and gotten offended. Anyone else would've probably started a brawl there and then. Magnus wasn't anyone else. Instead he was slightly mad as the newcomer had seemingly accepted the challenge before Kaido had come along. Still, perhaps Kaido was right and he shouldn't challenge every newcomer when they came through the door. Let them say their name first, then challenge them. Magnus made mental note of this, chuckled to himself and then tilted his head to the side slightly, listening to what the small one had to say.

So this little squirt wanted to join Fairy Tail huh?

"Why did you not say so?! If you don't declare what you want straight away, you won't get it!" Magnus laughed and gave a thumbs up. He then wheeled around and began looking for someone of importance - Nessa or the Man-Boy Guildmaster would do. "OI! YOU LOT! ANYONE SEEN NESSA?! OR THE MANBOY?!"

*sluuuuuuuuuuurp*

The sound of someone slurping the bottom of a soon-to-be empty juice box echoed throughout the guild hall, intending to catch the attention of whoever heard it in the middle of nowhere. It came from a flustered Guildmaster, average in height, average in build, and average in many other things in life… but this ‘manboy’ title that Magnus had bestowed upon him was getting annoying.

*sluuuuuuuuuuurp*

Oh hey, Kaido was here too. More maturely speaking than the white-haired tribe-fighter, he had been greeting a guest whose face was unfamiliar… a newcomer to the guild who quickly addressed their interest in joining Fairy Tail. This was rather pleasing to hear for the Guildmaster, so he decided to approach them anyway. He did so with a relaxed tempo, not really in a hurry or anything.

“So… Manboy was called, right?” he asked out to them, his eyebrows lowered rather sharply to turn his eyes into that of an angered kid. A small pout was present as well, but all of this was mostly aimed at Magnus, that rascal.

His face then moved to gaze at the newcomer, the young man who had manifested magic just a moment ago. His face rested assured and removed its angry textures, before he spoke: “You want to join Fairy Tail, right? Can you show me your magic one more time…?”

What Mura heard from the newcomer was that he utilized Stormcaller Magic. It sounded like he possessed a rather destructive magic where one could summon storms, and at first, Mura would have wanted him to hold back and do this outside as he didn’t want to spawn a tornado or a cumulonimbus cloud inside the guild hall. However, the previous spell performance was small and controlled, so what was wrong in some trusting…?

Skylar raised his hands and manifested another spell, to which Mura stood back and observed. He spotted a gust of wind travel in from the entrance to the guild hall, wrapping around Skylar sharply but without any force. Not even Mura’s hair waved in response to the gust, which must’ve been intentional. A miniature hurricane spawned between his hands now, and it bristled with bolts of lightning. This was, in its very essence, a mini storm. Skylar quickly molded it into a sword made of sharp wind and other particles, mostly water and electric bolts. And as quickly as he spawned it, after swinging it slowly before them all, Skylar dismissed it with a burst of wind and an after scent of ozone.

Not that Mura knew exactly what ozone smelled like…

“Yes, I’m impressed,” Mura responded to him with a soft smile, “You’re here to join Fairy Tail, right? Damn, we’ve been getting a lot of new recruits, lately… I like where things are going.” Chuckling a bit in sweet delight, Mura took a closer look and even circled around Skylar for a moment before arriving at his previous position and continuing the conversation. “I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before. Are you a traveler? Or, perhaps, in search of fortune…?” His way of asking was to lead the newcomer to tell something about himself, so Mura wouldn’t feel left out from too much information about the stranger.
